Financial Risk Management Fundamentals
Learn to identify, measure and communicate market, credit, liquidity and operational risk using volatility, drawdown, VaR and stress testing concepts.
This course moves from single instruments to portfolios spanning regions, sectors and asset classes. You will build Python workflows for portfolio returns, benchmark-relative analysis, risk decomposition and performance attribution, and you will handle currency translation and hedging effects. You will also implement mean-variance optimization and robust alternatives while learning why estimation error makes naive optimization fragile.
